Abstract

Growth and dry matter production of the crops grown under monocropping and coconut bated high density multispecies cropping systems (HDMSCS) have been compared. Canopy growth aid economic yield of intercrops under HDMSCS were considerably affected. The energy output/input based on NPK as active ingredients also was lower for the intercrops under HDMSCS system. Lower light intensity reaching the canopy of intercrops due to interception by coconut canopy appears to be the limiting factor for their growth and productivity. Shade loving species which require low light intensities are likely to perform better under HDMSCS system. Identification of such species of economic Importance for trying in HDMSCS system is desirable.
